FORT WORTH, Dallas, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or “the Company”), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today announces its growth strategy for Nook Holdings Limited (“Nook”), the UAE-based sports and wellness incubator located at One JLT, Dubai.   The Company is expected to complete its acquisition of a ninety percent (90%) ownership stake in Nook on or before June 30, 2025.

The Company has unveiled a strategic, multi-market rollout plan for its Sports.com-branded co-working and incubation model. This forms part of the Company’s broader platform growth strategy designed to drive international brand presence, cash generation through tangible asset acquisitions. Nook will be rebranded under Sports.com upon completion of the transaction.

“This is not a one-off transaction — this is a scalable blueprint,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “For several months, we’ve been clear that Lottery.com and Sports.com are executing an aggressive buy-and-build strategy. We operate a modular model that enables us to bolt on high-potential, cash-generative businesses that expand both brands quickly and globally.”

This execution aligns with the stated intent behind Lottery.com’s $100 million financing facility with Generating Alpha. The financing facility provides the Company with growth capital to target strategic acquisitions of businesses that possess tangible assets and demonstrate strong recurring revenue potential along with support existing operations. Nook generated $354,000 in net profit in FY 2024 and is projecting a 38% increase to $490,000 in 2025.

The Company has confirmed that its second Sports.com incubator hub will be located in Al Quoz, a high-growth district near DIFC and the Burj Khalifa, within a major new leisure complex. The site is expected to open in Q4 2025 and will serve as a regional anchor for the Company’s operations in the Middle East.

• Abu Dhabi, UAE
• Greater Miami, Florida area

“This is a long-term platform play,” said Mark Bircham, Director of Lottery.com and Head of Acquisitions at Sports.com. “We’re creating a repeatable model that connects high-growth markets to a shared infrastructure. With the right businesses in place, the potential to scale across multiple verticals is enormous.”

Each Sports.com hub is designed to serve as a launchpad for sports, health, wellness, and entertainment startups. By integrating these ventures into the broader Sports.com ecosystem, the Company aims to unlock new monetization channels and deliver long-term shareholder value.

Ilott, Foster, and Murray Fly the Flag for Global Brands Across IndyCar and Indy NXT

DETROIT, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lottery.com Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW)(“the Company” or “Lottery.com”) and Sports.com, the next-generation sports media platform, are proud to announce their continued sponsorship of three exceptionally talented drivers — Callum Ilott, Louis Foster and Sebastian Murray — as they take to the streets of Detroit this weekend in both the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone.

^{Lottery.com branded helmet worn by Callum Ilott}

Callum Ilott: Lottery.com Helmet Deal Extended Through 2025
Following his standout showing at the Indianapolis 500, Callum Ilott will now wear the Lottery.com logo front and center on his custom helmet for the remainder of the 2025 season. Driving car number 90 for the Prema racing team, Ilott represents Lottery.com’s lead entry in the top-tier INDYCAR SERIES.

“We’re proud to extend our relationship with Callum,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “I had the pleasure of spending time with Callum at the Indy 500 following his great drive, and I was really impressed not only by his ability to drive the wheels off a car, but also by his commercial understanding of how important partnerships like this are for the future. We look forward to working with Callum through this year and beyond.”

^{Sports.com branded helmet worn by Louis Foster.}

Louis Foster: Sports.com Partnership Continues Post-Indy 500
After finishing 12^th and earning Top Rookie Honors at the Indy 500 last weekend, Louis Foster continues his strong run in the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing No. 45 car. The Sports.com branding will now appear on the chin of Foster’s car, showcasing the Company’s commitment to elite racing talent.

“Detroit’s a tricky track and there have been some eventful races there in recent years,” Foster commented. “The main goal is to qualify well and stay out of trouble to keep our momentum going.”

“It’s just, like, super bumpy,” he added. “It’s really short and narrow. For us to be on the limit and not end up in the wall, it just makes it very, very challenging. In some areas, it’s very narrow. In others, you have different tarmacs in different corners, which makes it hard to feel the grip of the car.”

“Not only did Louis deliver one of the outstanding drives of the Indy 500 weekend,” said Marc Bircham, Director of Sports.com, “but having spent time with him personally, I can say he’s got a fantastic personality — every sponsor’s dream. He has a great racing pedigree. He’s the complete package.”

Sebastian Murray: Rising Star Continues Indy NXT Journey
In the INDY NXT by Firestone championship, Sebastian Murray will once again carry Lottery.com branding on the rear spoiler and nose wing endplates of his Andretti Cape Motorsports machine. As the youngest driver in the group, Murray’s progression symbolizes the long-term vision for both Lottery.com and Sports.com in supporting emerging motorsport talent and driver development.

“Sebastian represents the future,” said Marc Bircham. “He’s calm under pressure and has the talent to rise quickly through the ranks. We’re excited to watch his journey unfold and to be a part of it.”

“Marc and I also had the pleasure of spending time with Sebastian over the Indy 500 weekend,” said Matthew McGahan, “and he’s not only a charming young man but an exceptional natural driver. There’s no doubt he’s one to watch.”

Detroit Street Circuit: The Challenge Ahead
Detroit’s circuit is one of the most demanding in motorsport, with tight corners, changing surfaces, and limited overtaking zones that test both driver skill and race strategy. This marks the fourth major event in May, closing out the busiest month of the INDYCAR calendar.

Broadcast Schedule (ET):
